| Authors: | Ford, Julie

| Keywords: | students

| Issue Date: | 2000 |
| Abstract: | In this article, we discuss what we identified as the perils and promises of matching our
technical communication students with teams of engineers in a capstone, client-based
engineering course. Specifically, we identify the key issues that surfaced, focusing the
discuss.ion around three themes we saw as contributing to multidisciplinary success:
participation level, role definition, and connections between interim processes/products and
final deliverables. We conclude by sharing a series of initial recommendations and
modifications established as we continue to improve this multidiscipfinary endeavor and
reconfigure models for worlang in multidisciplinary teams. |
